The in-school lessons are based on grade level curriculum. For example, grade 2 focuses on recognizing and physically making shapes (triangles, squares, circles).

Depending on grade level, students will learn how to use a protector with varying degrees of complexity. Grade 5 will create large, group shapes such as quadrilaterals integrated with movement sequences going through a variety of shapes and angles.
